[kj] OT: Amebix reunited, confirmed tour of USA January 2009!

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

This is where Allison of Southern "closed down" the Amebix thread n the 
Southern website because of what they have allegedly been saying about 
the late John Loder:

http://www.southern.net/southern/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1691&action=new

I can say that at my site, cultpunk.com, I once offered a Bit Torrent 
link to all of Rudimentary Peni's UNRELEASED/bootlegged LIVE recordings 
- stuff Rudi Peni never made money from, and which Southern never had 
anything to do with. I was not hosting the unreleased live material, 
just providing a Bit Torrent to it.

Someone from Southern -- it was Allison or someone else, a woman whose 
name I don't exactly recall -- left a snarky comment on my site that 
said I was causing Rudi Peni to lose money and was disrespecting them by 
posting the link! Something like "Way to cause an artist to lose money 
for their lie's work," very nasty-sounding, even though I promote the 
fuck out of Rudi Peni all the time.

I told her that if she could show me where Rudi Peni was selling me the 
stuff I had posted a link to, I would remove the link. She never 
responded, but I think I removed the link anyway, wuss that I am.
